Philadelphia Eagles legendary center Jason Kelce left some room for speculation, but now, he's officially hanging up his cleats.

"It wasn't even the collisions I remember most, but the feeling before of 'What in the (bleep) is about to happen?"" Kelce said, fighting back tears.

Kelce tweeted on Monday morning that he has "come to a decision," leading many to believe that this was his retirement announcement.

A seven-time Pro Bowler, six-time All-Pro and one-time Super Bowl champion, Kelce has been a staple of success every since he stepped foot in Philadelphia after being a sixth-round pick of out Cincinnati in the 2011 NFL Draft.

Kelce set a franchise record with 156 consecutive starts while playing in 193 contests, the second-most in Eagles history.
